TD launches bus safety roving exhibition with first stop at West Kowloon Government Offices (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

The Transport Department (TD) will hold the "Safe Journey Begins with You and Me" bus safety roving exhibition at nine government buildings from today (February 3) to mid-May to feature the efforts of both the Government and franchised bus operators (FBOs) in improving bus safety and enhancing public awareness on passenger safety. Its first stop is the G/F Lobby, South Tower, West Kowloon Government Offices. Members of the public are most welcome to visit.

The Commissioner for Transport, Ms Angela Lee, said, "Franchised buses carry over 3.7 million passenger journeys per day on average, accounting for about 30 per cent of the total public transport patronage. Safe and convenient bus services are key to the public's daily commuting. Enhancing the safety of franchised buses is the shared priority of the Government and FBOs. We are committed to improving bus and passenger safety through four major areas, namely bus captains and passengers, technology, safety performance management, and road safety, with a view to preventing accidents."

The rich content of the exhibition panels and educational videos covers bus captains' daily work to uphold passenger safety, passenger safety tips, Safety Performance Indicators drawn up by the TD to assess FBO's performance, FBOs' extensive application of technology to enhance bus safety as well as an array of road safety and bus-friendly measures implemented by the Government. Visitors can participate in quiz games on site and receive souvenirs.

The bus safety roving exhibition will be open from 9am to 7pm. Admission is free. Details are as follows:
